Olivia Prior egész életében azon tűnődött, ki ő valójában és hova tartozik. Ebben egyedül egy vékony, ütött-kopott napló van a segítségére: az anyjáé volt, tele bejegyzésekkel és képekkel, amelyek arra utalnak, hogy a nő elvesztette az eszét, ráadásul a rajzok alig többek tintapacáknál… amíg Olivia észre nem veszi bennük egy kéz, egy ajtó, egy virág és egy koponya körvonalait. Nem sokkal később levelet kap, melyben hazahívják Gallantba. A helyre, ahová az anyja naplója szerint soha nem szabad mennie. Olivia mégis útra kel. Mi mást tehetne? Gallantban aztán rátalál az utolsó élő rokonára és a családi kúriára bálteremmel, szalonnal, dolgozószobával és egy hatalmas, színpompás kerttel, valamint egy málladozó fallal és egy vaskapuval, amit soha nem szabad kinyitnia. Azonban senki nem tud a levélről. És senki nem árulja el Oliviának, mi kísérti az unokatestvérét az álmaiban, mi történt az anyjával és mi rejtőzik a fal túloldalán.

Her only companion on this journey is her dark devil with hypnotic green eyes, who visits her each year on the anniversary of their deal. Alone in the world, Addie has no choice but to confront him, to understand him, maybe to beat him. Until one day, in a second hand bookshop in Manhattan, Addie meets someone who remembers her.

Metallic Coatings for Corrosion Control describes how metal coatings can control corrosion, the selection process, preparations, suitability, limitations, and how coatings are applied. The book reviews the nature of corrosion, the forms of corrosion (even general, uneven general, even local, narrow pits, cracking), electrochemical mechanism of corrosion, effects of discontinuities in coatings, and economic considerations of coating. It describes pretreatments (such as removal of superficial corrosion, abrading, polishing), the coating processes (molten or spray application, chemical or vapor deposition, diffusion coating), and also coating performance. The rate of corrosion on different metals such as aluminum, cadmium, copper, gold, silver, or tin depends on the presence of an oxide film, solubility, electrodeposits, or tarnish blackening. Gold is resistant to corrosion and tarnishing except in aqua regia. The book recommends the following when the engineer is selecting a type of coating: the environment where it is exposed, the service life required, the substrate material, shape or size of the article, its decorative appeal, mechanical factors, and if there will be any subsequent fabrication. The book is useful for students of civil, structural, and mechanical engineering. Designers and technicians of industrial machinery or maritime equipment will also profit from reading it.

For the Germans, the Battle of Jutland in 1916 should have been a simple set piece that lured the British Grand Fleet into a lethal trap. Instead, it turned into a confused, rambling conflict. The Royal Navy suffered higher losses, but the German fleet never again ventured out of harbor to fight. Using previously unseen records, action reports, letters, plus charts and drawings of major warships, a naval historian tells this absorbing tale from the German perspective. It sheds new light on just what happened.

A fascinating account of one of the most successful spying operations of World War II Long recognized as one of the most successful (and ruthless) spy networks in history, the Red Orchestra was a group of Soviet cells that operated throughout Germany and occupied Europe until late 1943. The Germans knew of its existence as early as 1941. Yet, it was only after two years of dogged detective work, lucky breaks, interrogation, and betrayals that they were able to silence the Red Orchestra for good. By that time the damage had been done and the Third Reich was facing extinction. Now, The Red Orchestra offers readers a unique opportunity to learn the complete story of Russia''s hidden war against Nazi Germany. Vividly recreating a shadowy world of intrigue and espionage in war-torn Europe, The Red Orchestra introduces all the major players and describes spectacular feats of espionage performed right under the Germans'' noses. • Contains new research based on original sources • A real-life spy story containing all the drama and suspense of the best spy fiction • The first book to explore all three sectors of the spy operation: the Grand Chef''s Western circuit in France, Belgium, and Holland; Die Rote Drei in Switzerland; and the Berlin network V. E. TARRANT (South Wales, Great Britain) is a military and naval historian and author of several books on World War II.

The Battle of Jutland took place on 31 May to 1 June 1916 as a plan to concentrate the German High Seas Fleet precisely against the numerically superior British Grand Fleet at a time and place of German choice, having lured the bulk of the Royal Navy into a trap in German waters. Bad luck, bad weather and the perennial weakness of such Great War battles - poor communications - meant the battle became a confused, rambling but desperately hard-fought conflict. It also became a pyrrhic victory for Germany since although the Royal Navy suffered higher losses in men and ships, the German fleet never ventured out of harbour to seek battle again. The decisive battle that was claimed by each side as a victory was in reality a defeat of the German High Seas Fleet. Amazingly, this classic sea battle has never been studied from the enemy''s view. Now, for the first time in the English language a balanced and unique assessment of the German view of Jutland is possible. Drawing on many official sources, archives and translations of documents about the Battle of the Skaggerak (as Jutland is known to the Germans), the historian V. E. Tarrant has created this superb new study of the classic battle. The author provides a complete review of Jutland using hitherto unseen German naval records: an inter-war appreciation by the German Office of Naval History, High Seas Fleet War Diaries, Chief of the High Seas Fleet Operations Staff papers plus action reports from individual commanders involved in the battle and the letters and papers of Tirpitz, Scheer and Hipper. As well as this wealth of untapped original source material on German views and accounts, the author also discusses the technical and materialinferiority of Royal Navy ships plus a unique revelation of the role German code-breaking and signal interception played in their conduct of the battle. Illustrated with detailed action charts representing ship movements and dispositions hour-by-hour throughout the battle, and with accurate scale drawings and silhouettes of all major warships and classes from both sides, Jutland: The German View fills an important gap in the history and understanding of this great action.
